I never would have predicted that I'd be engaged for an hour and a half in a movie that is literally just a conversation in one room between two people having a conversation; however I related to the honesty of the discussion and found myself immediately relating to both sides of it, rather than picking one. I realized at a young age that I only believed in God and Jesus because I was raised to do so, and have spent every day since trying in vain to find truth. I found solace in the presentation of both sides of the discussion, but more so with Samuel L. Jackson's faith, because the unavoidable truth that certainly pertains to me is that if your worldview leads you to suicide, it's a good idea to change your worldview.. That ending threw me for a loop though. Need to unpack it, but the movie got me thinking, which is usually a bad thing, but in this case I doubt it.

Of course Hollywood co opts this piece of garbage. Who’s bright idea was it to make the main character a sociopathic piece of human waste that robs and essentially incarcerates elderly people? You just find yourself finishing the movie out of hope she dies a horrible death with no payoff. And if you’re going to try and highlight a real world issue, don’t you think it should probably be somewhat realistic? Armed guards in a nursing home? Russian mob? Diamond heist? Pick a theme and do it well, rather than not picking a single theme and doing them all terribly. And the court scenes...again, if you’re going try and highlight a corrupt justice system, you shouldn’t have to embellish to a Law and Order degree to get your point across. It was so bad I thought for sure the judge was in on it. Yes, the acting was good, all the actors, so why they would agree to do this is beyond me.
